This morning I got following information from my computer. I think I understand the info and I know why the pop-qmail does not get authorization. I get my email via Kmail for the moment so it does not matter for the moment. I decided to stop fetchmail and gave the command which I found in the man pages. The resulting answer I do not understand. Is fetchmail stopped now or what? "no other fetchmail is running" as a result does not say so explicitely. Fetchmail could not get mail from constant@pop-qmail.indo.net.id. The attempt to get authorization failed. Since we have already succeeded in getting authorization for this connection, this is probably another failure mode (such as busy server) that fetchmail cannot distinguish because the server didn't send a useful error message. However, if you HAVE changed your account details since starting the fetchmail daemon, you need to stop the daemon, change your configuration of fetchmail, and then restart the daemon. The fetchmail daemon will continue running and attempt to connect at each cycle. No future notifications will be sent until service is restored. -- The Fetchmail Daemon cons@bigone:~> fetchmail -q fetchmail: no other fetchmail is running
